NOW Niacinamide is a form of Niacin to helps support skin health, immunity and energy production.

Niacinamide (Vitamin B-3) is a form of niacin, a water soluble B-vitamin. It is a derivative of niacin that does not cause the "flush" normally associated with taking high doses of niacin. Niacinamide is readily converted into the bioactive forms of niacin, NAD+, NADH, NADP, and NADPH, which are vital cofactors in cellular energy production and are critical for the maintenance of DNA stability.

Niacinamide and niacin are two different forms of vitamin B-3. Niacinamide does not cause a niacin flush.

  • How come my skin goes red and blotchy?

    This is called Niacin Flush. Niacin flush is a common side effect of taking high doses of niacin (vitamin B3), especially in its immediate-release form.

    What is a Niacin Flush?

    A niacin flush is a temporary reddening and warming of the skin, usually on the face, neck, chest, and arms. It’s caused by vasodilation—the widening of blood vessels—triggered by niacin.

    What Causes It?

    When you take niacin, it stimulates the release of prostaglandins, which expand capillaries and increase blood flow near the skin’s surface. This causes: Redness, Warmth or heat, Itching or tingling and Occasionally mild burning

    The effect typically begins 15–30 minutes after taking niacin and can last up to an hour.

    When Does It Happen?

    More likely with immediate-release niacin (e.g., supplements over 50–100 mg). Less common with slow-release or no-flush forms (like inositol hexanicotinate). The Flush may decrease over time as the body adapts.

    Is It Harmful?

    No, it’s usually harmless—just uncomfortable. However, very high doses of niacin (above 2000 mg/day) should only be taken under medical supervision due to potential liver toxicity.

    How to Reduce or Prevent a Niacin Flush?

    Take niacin with food

    Start with a low dose and increase gradually

    Try sustained-release or no-flush formulations

    Avoid alcohol or hot beverages when taking niacin

    Some people use aspirin (81–325 mg) 30 minutes beforehand (consult a doctor first)
